If you asked me, and I'm listening and we're vibing right now, if you asked me to put my children's health on the line of can you run a successful ticketing Internet company, I would bet against you. And so like, I'm being serious with you. I think you clearly have some, like you told me about your background, which is where your passion is. You're clearly hitting a chord, you're only seven months in. (background noise drowns out female speaker) That's exactly right, that's what happens when you're onto something, and so it's moving faster than you expected, you're onto something, which now gets you to start going into a place that you're not as comfortable with. Like, you're spitting out ticketing and retail, and I heard you, not all right away.
But ticketing and retail, and then you know, what was the third thing you were saying? - [Female Speaker] Real estate. - Real estate. I get it, I get it. But it was a hot fucking mess. Like, your thought process there was a hot mess. Like I'm telling you, it's a hot fucking piece of shit. But your first part is so off the charts right that you need to fucking start interviewing people you do trust and figure out to bring somebody who actually knows how to do that part. The biggest problem is, people wanna be everything, like wanna do everything, like we aren't. Like, I couldn't get any entry level job in my own company 'cause I couldn't pass the written test or the math test for the two disciplines, I couldn't. I own the whole fucking thing, and the straight facts are, I could not work for my own company in an entry level job. That is the truth. That's not me making a joke, that is the fucking facts. There are a lot of people that know how to build simple tech, first of all, they wouldn't build tech, they would rent the tech of the ticketing platforms and the e-com platforms and the real estate platforms and pay nothing for it. They wouldn't get ripped off by somebody to build it. I get it, but like, you need to do what you do. And what you do is you have a pulse on what the fuck is actually happening and you know how to story tell it. That's where all the leverage is. If you had six million people on that Instagram account, you could sell a lot of T-shirts, a lot of tickets, have a lot of classifieds. You're only seven months in, this thing has just started. Back to the thing I talked about, you're a young, young, young woman. You may look at some 19 year old, I saw some 19 year old here earlier, I just went like fuck, that's young. You know, but-- (audience laughter) You are that young. You are that young for you to do something that makes you happy for the rest of your life. If you go into a coma for six years and just focus on what you do, you have a far better chance of being successful than trying to decide that you're gonna be the one navigating the business aspects, especially 'cause I heard you spit the way you thought about it, and you're clearly not very deep into your business mindset yet, which you may later on do. But like, I think you need to either do one, I'm trying to give you really good advice, you need to do one of two things. Bring in a business partner to drive the business parts so you can focus on the content, or stay focused on the content for another 15 months and revisit it later. Those are the options, in my opinion. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm feeling. (background noise drowns out female speaker) I get it. Patience is a strength and people think it's a weakness. Cool. You're welcome. One more. - [Male Speaker] All right, I'm gonna shoot, if that's okay. Since you're a media mogul-- - I'll get YouTube, don't worry. - [Male Speaker] Since you're a media mogul who's built such a successful company and you're looking back at it from perspective of, you know, where you are now, what first steps would you take in terms of creating a media entity or a media company, you know, saying you had zero followers or zero funding or really scrapping it out to create a content-driven business? - I think the best advice for a content-driven business is to scratch your own itch. - [Male Speaker] Scratch your what?
